ICD Youth Club

As the world faces major challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and the unequal distribution of natural resources, we firmly believe that youth are not only the bearers of the future but also the leaders of change today.

That is why we founded the International Cooperation and Development Youth Club (ICD Youth Club)—a platform where high school students passionate about international public affairs and environmental sustainability can transform their ideals into meaningful action.

The club began its initial planning phase in September 2023 and was officially established in April 2024 at Taipei American School. Upholding the core mission of the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF) to advance global collaboration, the ICD Youth Club is committed to promoting global citizenship through youth-led fundraising initiatives, environmental science advocacy, volunteer service, cultural dialogue, and policy engagement—bridging local and international efforts.

As students from various high schools in Taiwan and abroad have joined and formed new chapters, we are steadily building a value-driven, human-centered global youth action network.

Youth Uniting Borders.

We Don’t Wait for Change — We Create It !

The founding of the ICD Youth Club represents a long-term commitment. As of May 2025, five high schools across different regions have united under this cause. Together, we strive to mobilize the power of youth to create a more diverse, resilient, and collaborative world. Through the active participation of every member, we believe high school students can serve as bridges—connecting cultures, closing divides, and creating global solidarity.

Visions of ICD Youth Club

Cultivating Globally-Minded Youth Leaders

With international cooperation at its core, we empower students to understand global issues and engage in local action—becoming advocates of “thinking globally, acting locally.”

Fostering Cross-Cultural Understanding and Equal Dialogue

More than just exchanging resources, we emphasize listening and mutual respect across cultures, building bridges between global and local communities.

Advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 

Guided by the UN SDGs, we implement action plans and advocacy initiatives in areas such as education, food security, climate, and health to promote sustainable development.

Empowering Youth to Solve Real-World Problems

We encourage students not only to identify challenges but to actively design and implement innovative solutions—nurturing problem-solving skills and leadership.

Collaborating with Institutions like TaiwanICDF for Hands-On Global Engagement

Through partnership with TaiwanICDF and its international programs, we transform the value of global care into real-world impact and a strong sense of global responsibility.

Youth Are the Agents of Change—Now, Not Just in the Future 

We believe youth are not merely future leaders—they are the driving force and spark of hope for the world’s transformation today.
